Nice soft butter and oak from Santa Barbara. A wonderful fish pairing

Normally I am not a fan of chardonnays, but this is smooth, subtle, and quite drinkable.

Ok. This is a great Chardonnay from the 'Central Coast' or Santa Barbara county. I would consider this southern Cal. Evidently LA and south or west is considered southern. Really good Chardonnay. Lacks the alcohol burn of some California varieties.
